Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Iron Lung" Director Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier, on the Making of his Debut Feature
Q: What practical advice do you have for independent filmmakers starting their first feature?
He stresses intense pre-production, a willingness to learn by doing, and maintaining flexibility with the crew and technical constraints, plus the importance of building and trusting a capable team to execute the plan.
"Iron Lung" Director Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier, on the Making of his Debut Feature
Q: What motivated you to move from YouTube to directing a feature film, given the risks involved?
Mark explains that after years of making videos and building a loyal audience, the desire to create something more ambitious and tangible drove him to pursue a contained, lower-budget film that could still demonstrate his vision and storytelling chops.
Amy Landecker on Directing "For Worse," Independent Filmmaking, & More
Q: Where did the idea for For Worse come from?
Amy describes the concept as a personal reaction to rom-com tropes, inspired by weddings and a sense of being the adult in chaotic wedding moments, which together formed a 'fish out of water' premise that could be realized on a tight budget.
"Matter of Time" Director Matt Finlin on Making the Doc, Working with Eddie Vedder, & More
Q: What recommendations would you have for younger filmmakers?
Focus on the story, use whatever camera you have, and build strong relationships.
"Crime 101" Director Bart Layton on Crafting the Heist Film, Shooting on Location in LA, & More
Q: Do you have any recommendations for students, up-and-comers, filmmakers?
Applying to the Sundance Labs is highly recommended for filmmakers who need support. Also, using accessible devices like phones to create films can help in learning quickly.
